Concerning improving your property:
1. Stopping erosion:
a. Some erosion is occurring in the stream bed and banks. This could be arrested by placing cobble rocks on the steep banks and stream bottom.
b. Erosion is halted by keeping a vegetation cover over the soil.
2. Improving ·quantity and quality of water:
a. Organic waste should be kept away from water flows, either surface or sub-surface.

Concerning plant types:
The following could be used for ornamentals:
Brush – wild current, elder berry.
Flowers – wild geraniums, cinquefoil, lupin, larkspur, clover yarrow, Indian paintbrush, penstemon, asters and daisies [note that some ·of these flowers are poisonous to livestock)
These plants along with the ones you have could be planted or transplanted and arranged anywhere except on the hillside in your northwest corner. Transplant seedlings in April and early May before leaves form.

Tree management:
Trees that thrive in your area are:
Ponderosa pine, Dogwood, Birch, Oak Brush, Willow, Oregon Grape, Juniper, and Wild Rose.

Decide which tree type you want. Then,
a. Transplant new seedlings.
b. Clear area around each tree for a 10 ft. radius.
c. Any two trees closer than 5 ft. should have one removed.
d. Thin or eliminate other tree types.
e. Cut all dead trees.
f. Thin the dense overgrowth with stands to provide sunlight where needed for ground plants.

Brush management:
Sagebrush can be eradicated by spraying in the early summer with three guarts of 2-4, D should be mixed with 3-10 gallons of water. Rabbit brush will require mechanical control.

Sincerely.
